Here is the answer to the question, provided by the attached video. First, let's explain what an immobiliser is: it is a key code reader for the ignition, essentially an anti-theft device, which reads the code and if it does not match the one stored in the ECU, it prevents the engine from starting.

It is a ring installed around the ignition barrel, and if it malfunctions, you can attempt a reset by locating the assigned fuse in the fuse box, disconnecting it, and reconnecting it after a few seconds.
